The best doctor, Dr. Chen! So happy I got accepted to be their patient! Amazing office and staff!
Josefina L.

They are no longer accepting new patients . So if you are lucky enough to get in to this office, consider yourself Blessed! I know some patients fly from all over the world just to see Dr Chen and get treated. I've been coming here for over 8 yrs and my smile has shined so bright and so healthy, thanks to the team of Brilliant Specialist! This office is not just dental office, it's a place for comfort, trust and you are surrounded with positive influences and most of all the total RESPECT and transparency! Dr. Chen explains everything to you so you understand what you are doing and all the risks that might come so you can make best decisions. His knowledge and care will be impressed! They will remember everything of you, like your birthday, anniversary, graduation, every holiday, Julia will greet you with her positive energy and gift. The level of care they give to each patient is just incredible and amazing! Last year, I went through some tough time and sure enough, Julia felt my sadness. She guided me through hard times and made me feel like a superstar! She has made me stronger and smarter on how to take care of my teeth but also my life! I'm beyond grateful and I call them my family! Truly Love them!

Update: Adding evidence of the missed diagnosis that was found by the oral surgeon who ended up saving my life. At a minimum, if this business really cares for their patients when something goes wrong, they should issue an apology, as opposed to public insults to the patient's integrity, and threats to bring the sick patient to court.

So so clean and with beautiful view! I feel like I'm in a spa! Very relaxing for people who are afraid of dental office!

I want to really express and let people know why Brilliant Specialist is soooo different from the rest of the dental office. If you are one of the patients here then you can relate and be so fortunate to be part of this family! Dr. Chen is so humble and most people don't know how dedicated he is with all of his patients. He wants nothing more than perfect for every single patient!! Just FYI, he has 5 brothers and all of them are DOCTORS!

Dr Chen, Julia and Scarlett has helped and saved me from a whole lot of pain and suffering. They never fail to amaze me with their expertise in the dental field. I found this gem close to my home and was initially drawn by how genuine the yelp reviews sound. When I spoke to Julia to make an appointment, she immediately started dropping knowledge to me about teeth. I had to get a root canal done due to a really bad infection that was caused by a bad crown my previous dentist had placed in. After a couple of visits, the infections disappeared and I can finally eat normally again. Unlike the previous dentists I've had, Dr Chen and his team has shown great care of each of their patient's teeth. I've seen smiles whenever I walk into their office and see the smile from the person before me. From my experience with them, they taught me how to take great care of your teeth and explained in detailed to me about the procedure they took to fix my teeth. They showed me what to do and what not to do. I personally like the goodie bag and they give out. It's adds a personal touch along with the way they treat you as family. Which you won't get from most dental office. Just goggle with salt water after you eat those snacks like they've taught you. I feel fortunate to have found Dr Chen and his team. Who have taught me so much about teeth. Thank you Dr Chen, Julia and Scarlett!!

I must say that I am very impressed with this dental office. Whether if it's for kids, adults, or seniors, this place is the perfect place for everyone. This place is also SPOTLESS and the staff members are very professional. I called to schedule an appointment to ask about the price and procedures that are available. They were very straight up and clear about the possible options and pricing. The staff was also very patient and explained everything step by step. A couple days later, the office followed up with a text confirmation, which is awesome. Makes everything easy and clear. The day of the appointment, the assistant greeted us and got us to the dentist right away without long waits. My boyfriend was able to walk out of the office with his filling fixed in just 30 minutes. He felt great afterwards and was able to eat right away. Bonus: their dental chairs are super comfortable and the place is literally squeaky clean. While waiting, a team member handed me the remote to their TV and was free to watch all the Netflix shows (YES!!). They also spoiled us with snacks and water since I mentioned that I was thirsty. They truly went above and beyond in making dental experience enjoyable for both the patient and the companion. I've never given a more well deserved 5 stars. TLDR: this place is super professional and the dentist are super competent in a lot of areas and they really care about the patient. Kids will love this place, adults will sine they provide good pricing and service. If you're around San Ramon or Danville, you should come to this place.

All started when I was in Hawaii and had extremly bad tooth ache - the tooth that I had crown done on only couple years before. I searched dentists and found dr Chen and Julia , they are awsome. They treat everybody like family , they explain clearly what will be done and what to expect. I think no words can describe how happy I'm with their treatment and most all flexibility and high quality work.

Best office in California!

Brilliant Specialist of Blackhawk has to be THE BEST dental/spa office ever! And they have 24/7 textable number where you can ask questions or concerns and even making your appointments anytime ! I have always been able to talk to Dr. Chen and get my problems resolved of any kind. Coming here is like dealing with trusted family. Would never consider ever changing doctors!!!! They always treat me with the highest respect and care like no other office! Because they really do care and truly love what they do and it really shows! I find that Dr. CHEN takes time to explain all the procedures. He explains all the pros and cons of the treatment so that I can make an independent judgment and decision. His staff is also extremely helpful and so so sweet. Especially julia! She loves to save you money and make your skin beautiful too! She also specialize in insurance so she will go over everything with you so you can make good decisions and help you save money! They want you to unserstand everything so there is never a surprise bill! AMAZING office! Dr. CHEN has a great rapport with his assistant and they work very well together! I would not trust anyone with my smile but Dr. Chen! Theres no one more repand ,he doesnt cut corners and always research for the best treatments for his patients! They never make you feel like you are in a assembly line! They believe we deserve nothing but the best! I love that!!! I highly recommend Brilliant Specialist of Blackhawk to my family & friends or to anyone who wants quality, honest treatments and the best care for your smile!!

My teeth are cleaner and brighter ;)

The office location is amazing. Dr.Chen is very thorough and caring. I found Julia and Dr. Chen to be very professional and truly caring about your oral health. Also, it was the least stressed I've ever been for a cleaning! I no longer have anxiety about my dental appointments. Dr.Chen and Julia were gentle and checked in frequently with me during the procedure to make sure I was okay. Atmosphere in the office feels relaxed and calm. I had a very pleasant experience. Can't wait to come in for my next teeth cleaning/check up appointment ;) Thank you so much for the facial and a bag of treats at the end of my visit! I truly appreciate your service!

Goodie bag dental care pshh

Pros Nice view Communication A+ Massage chair yaassss Music Semi fast Cons *Maybe doesn't take my insurance *Heavy hand when cleaning your teeth with drill be prepared to pee your pants and cry *Flouride (paste to polish) paste caked on if you where mere less than a animal with finger not the tool but a gloved finger *Didnt floss my teeth!! What dentist doesn't floss your teeth!!! *To go bags are filled with all junk food it was like she raided the vending machine I got chezits, kellogs gummy's, peanuts raisin m&m trail mix, voss water and a tooth brush in a paper bag not even tooth pass or floss! Other people got all different to go bags too it was like she shopped either last min at gas stations or vending machines *The assistant was ok but something didn't sit right when she let the suction tool just hang there while both hands where free looking down at me..., $250 with out insurance for trip to a scary dentist So this is my opinion about brilliant dental group. I was in shock to see amazing reviews, so I thought I couldn't pass a chance up to try out this dentist. I never had a bad experience at the dentist and I never really knew had good I had it. So I trusted the reviews and I'm new to this area. (I moved recently to Blackhawk neighborhood) So anyways getting back to my review; I had to switch my appointment around, easy enough Julia is such a sweet woman. She texts very fast and communication is key right. I show up kinda frizzled because I forgot my insurance card (blue shield) but Julia reinsured next I can text it to her when I get home but told me even the insurance I had may not be covered so that wasn't the biggest deal but still annoying why did I have insurance than??So I was seated and I was very impressed the chair was a heating massage chair, the view was peaceful, and the dentist came in. It seem to be the best place he didn't talk to much and I met with his dental assistant who didn't talk too much either (mostly awkward silience between us lol) But the doctor talk to me a tad bit and put sum relaxing music on, Julia came in and was a cheery butterfly which was uplifting breaking up the awkwardness haha. So onto the cleaning I had to wear a hair net haha ok sure wore some stunner shades sunglasses, and onto the cleaning! Oh my the drilling of cleaning was the most uncomfortable scariest situation! I closed my eyes and told myself just a few minutes it will be over I couldn't even start about this very scary situation.... my poor teeth are so sensitive the front and it hurt from sensitivity. The dentist told me just tap his arm if I needed a break but I was so stunned I couldn't but just lift my hands up if I felt the sensitivity!!! He would give me a 5 sec break when I put up my hands and say give her a break I though omg thank you and he would go back drilling away around the crevasses of my teeth. Then the Fluoride paste you know that crap that taste thick bubble gum or maybe it's mint or some kind of flavored that the dentist have a tiny cap and a brush to dip it in and polish your teeth that's what I thought was going to happen not at all what happened!!! The flouride paste was smeared all over my teeth with a gloved finger and nothing pleasant almost like if the dentist didn't care too much like smearing it on heavy with out a care at all it was gross.I felt kinda grossed seriously.Brushing wasn't too bad at least I was away from the drill and picture xrays where ok a bit gross tasting like soap. He didn't even floss my teeth to scared to say anything lol I then couldn't wait to go and the receptionist Julia gave me a gift bag. When I went home it had a bunch of junk food nothing good for your teeth but a Korean odd tooth brush I thought do they want to give me cavities haha but I accepted it and politely went home. It was two terrible and I understood why my husband was scared of dentist. I never had this kind of experience where the dentist was scary enough to be a horror movie. Haha Update to Julia, I didn't say how bad my past experiences at my dentist where. I put on a smile for you guys to not hurt your feelings and yeah my husbands teeth is no joke and need cleaning but one hear of that drill thing or scraping your gums or pushing hard on your face he would run. Next what is a sand blaster??Maybe you should of told me what procedure was going on instead of assuming! If so I learned something sand blasting sucks! Next your snacks where junk.Why a Korean tooth brush why not a regular Colgate one??I tried to look up this expensive $5 toothbrus but I couldn't find it so I wouldn't recommend it.Far as my insurance I took a picture of it front and back ; last thing I admit I think the last thing she asked for was my husbands name I didn't give to her. Yeah I reschedule due to the last min reminder the day before late evening excuse me and I went in next 2 days. Funny she's like free of charge haha I paid $250!

Updating this post review just so you know how great they are here at brilliant dental group. First of all Julia who works the front desk is amazing. She's always available and will always answer your questions or concerns as best she can and if she doesn't know, she will find out and get back to you without fail. Dr. Chen truly cares about my teeth and smile and will do what's best for the patient. He's caring and just a good guy who wants what's best for me which I appreciate coming from a dentist where it was just their job. This is truly his passion and it comes through with every visit. I've never seen him or Julia in a bad mood! I didn't know what I was missing before I happened to stumble on them. They informed me so much on common malpractice in the dentistry world which I exposed myself to out of ignorance. They handle all your needs and will educate you all they can so you can make the best choices for you and your future. I love Julia and Dr. Chen and hope to come here as long as they are around!

Dr Chen is brilliant, informative and caring. He actually listens to the patient, because who knows ones body better than self?! Dr Chen is a perfectionist to the T! He won't just do something because it's part of the process, he does things thoroughly and thoughtfully along the process. Dr Chen is never rushed and takes his time to get things perfect. Julia is a perfect fit to this team and is able to explain the financial end. Julia is funny, smart and caring. Julia gave me the best facial ever after my last procedure. Both Julia and Dr Chen constantly conduct research to make sure they are serving their patients to the best of their ability. This has been the first time in YEARS, maybe ever that I did not need nitrous oxide for my appointments. Love them Update: It is always a 5 Star experience here. Julia and Dr.Chen make the perfect team making the patient feel confident, at ease and important. This duo is the most caring team I've experienced in the dental/medical arena. I had the "silk salt" cleaning today and can't get over how white my teeth are. The process was quick and effective. A friend was so impressed she will give them a call. I'd suggest you do the same!
